death few months ago brought the tears to
eyes of many who mourned her benefac-
tress.
Early in the days of woman's employment
in the departments 3 young and beautiful
girl sought position that she might aid
her father in the support of the family.
Daily she despatched the duties assigned her,
and out of Office hours applied herself dill
gently to the acquisition of knowledge mas
tering, almost unaided, French and Italian
and other studies. Ere long distinguished
head of bureau of one of the departments
wooed and won her. For long time during
President Grants Administration she was
prominent in society. After while her
husband died, and she removed to great
metropolis, but her beauty and accomplish
ments were not destined to be forever cloist-
cred with grief One even higher ON the
roll of official position sought her out, and
to-day is the much admired and lovely
pfc of an Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court. And here in the same CITY,
where, when but lass in her teens, she carv-
ed out her fortune, aided only by her own
genius and brains, she is destined to reign
as queen to whom all will be proud to pay
homage.

Abraham Lincoln Lends a Hand

washington Letter to the Chicago NeWS.i
Senator Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky, tells
a story of Abraham Lincoln that was never
printed before. He says: "When I was
nineteen years of age I located in Chicago
and began the practice of law. One of my
first cases was in the United States court,
which was presided over by Justice Mclean
of the United States Supreme court and
Judge Drummond OF the Illinois circuit.
The opposing counsel was Isaac N. Arnold,
then at the head of the Chicago bar, who
subsequently prominent member of
Congress, and the author of the first biogra-
ply of Mr. Lincoln. had filed demurrer
to Mr.. Arnold's pleadings in the cause, and
when the case was reached on the calendar
was quite nervous st having such formida-
bic and experienced antagonist, while the
dignity of the tribunal and the presence of a
large number of lawyers in the court all
aided to increase my timidity and embar-
rassment. l was young, inexperienced, and
naturally felt diffdent and nervous; in fact
was willing thet any disposition should be
mada OF the case so l could be rid Of it.
was ready to adopt any suggestien of the
opposing counsel which would relieve me of
the embarrassing situation, I wanted to get
away from the ordeal as soon as possible.
Mr.. Arnold made an argument in which he
criticised my demurrer in manner that
greatly tended to increase my confusion.
"However, had to make an effort. I said
but little and that in very bewildered man
ner, and was about to sit down and let the
case go by default as it were when tall,
homely loose jointed man sitting in the bar,
whom l had noticed as giving close attention
to the case, arose and addressed the court in
behalf of the position I had assumed in my
feeble argument, making the points clear
that when he closed the court at once sus-
tanned my demurrer. 1 didn't know who
my volunteer friend was, hut Mr.. Arnold got
up and attempted to rebuke him for interfer-
ing in the matter, when for the first time
heard that he was Abe Lincoln, of Spring
field.
"Mr, Lincoln, in his good -natured reply to
Mr.. Arnold's structures his interference,
said that he claimed the privilege of giving
young lawyer boost when struggling with
his first case, especially if he was pitted
against an experienced practitioner. OF
course thanked him and departed from the
court as proud as a young field marshal. I
naver saw Mr.. Lincoln again, and he died
without ever knowing who the young, strug

testant, had been elected and declared the
seat vacant. This decision was regarded by
the Republicans unfair, the evidence seem
ing to show that Piree was elected. A new
election was ordered, against the protests of
large portion of the press of the State,
which declared that it was useless extrav-
agance to hold an election for the choice of a
member who could only hold his seat about
a week at the end of the session. For this
reason the vote was remarkably light, and
there were besides many Republicans who
would perhaps have voted, though reluctant
ly, for Mr.. Pirce. if it had been question of
choosing Republican or Democrat for a
whole congress, but were willing to see their
party beaten under these conditions

Stepping into a druggists store the other day,
our attention called to something new for the
cure of coughs and colds, which we were informed
was having a wonderful success wherever tried.
The druggist explained to US the secret of its re
markable efficacy: The new preparation is com
pound of lactart the pure acid OF milk and honey,
and its effectiveness is owing to the wonderful mu-
cus-dssoiVing power of lactart and the well known
soothing and healing qualities of honey. The com
hination of sweet and for the cure of throat
troubles has been tried from time immemoriai, and
in the lactart ana honey the principle is found in
its most effective form. The taste CT the new REM
edy is simply delightful and its curative effect is
testified to by the Thousands who have tried and
are now using j. In climate, like ours, where
coughs enJ colds are eternally prevalent, rem
cay such as Lactart and Honey is simply a nation
al boon Nothing better has ever been devised foI 1
children. Says Mr. F. A. BaiSdell, of Boston: VI

A German botanist has discovered source
OF brandy and alcohol in the poppy. 1t ap-
pears that the pulp which covers the poppy
seed contains saccharine matter, which, after
due fermentation and distillation, produces a
kind of brandy of an agreeable flavor. AS
this pulp has been hitherto thrown away, the
discovery, it is said, affords poppy planters
an opportunity of realizing more profits
from their crops without very great expen-
diture of capital.

A paper on "The Right Hand and Left
Handedness" was lately read before the Royal
Society of Canada by DIR. Daniel Wilson,
president of University college, Toronto. His
conclusion is that left-handedness is due to
an exceptional development of the right hem
isphere of the brain. DIR. Wilson, who is
himself left handed, concludes his paper with
the expression of hope that after his death
his own brain may be f.turned to account for
the little further service of settling this ply
siological puzzle" eff my ideas are correct"
he says, 'I anticipate as a result of its exam
ination that the right hemisphere will not
only be found to be heavier than'the left, but
that it will probably be marked by notice
able difference in the number and arrange
ment of the convolutions."
